Man, I Am Tired Of This Bitch

Sally Quinn is a nasty bitch, a creepy little non-entity who slept her way to comfort and influence. Sally Quinn is a dark-faced little gorgon, with the breath of a poorly-bred carrion bird and the conscience of a psychopathic incubus. Sally Quinn has the morals of an immoral succubus and the manners of Baphomet on a bad day.

From today's WaPo

Don Rumsfeld is the shrewdest person in Washington. He understands better than anyone that somebody has to be in line to take the blame when things go wrong. So far he has been willing to do so. But not much longer.

The drumbeat to get him out of the Pentagon has reached deafening proportions. Republicans and Democrats, the generals, the media, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Andy Card, the first President Bush, and even Laura Bush all want him gone. Until now George W. Bush has resisted all of the pressure to get rid of his defense secretary. But those in the know say that the president may have reached the point where he realizes that Rumsfeld has outlived his usefulness.

Still, the president must be aware on some level that once the pugnacious, outspoken and flak-attracting Rumsfeld leaves the stage, the focus will be on the president. Whether Bush realizes it or not, this is about a scapegoat.

In the Bible, the high priest would transfer the sins of the people onto a goat, and, as it was written, "the goat shall carry all the sins of the people into a land where no one lives, and the man shall let it loose in the wilderness."

(The word for scapegoat in Hebrew means, literally, "into hell.") [See? Sally stoops to conquer; explaining to the morons who she's never met at Citronelle for lunch and who must, therefore, not know, what a scapegoat is! And they say that Medusa has no manners!]

Rumsfeld has seen others take on the role of scapegoat. Look what happened to Nancy Reagan. When she was first lady, she rightly realized that Donald Regan, the chief of staff, was causing her husband enormous damage. What she hadn't realized was that Regan was filling the role of scapegoat for the president. When Don Regan was finally fired, Nancy herself was made the scapegoat. She then took the brunt of criticism for the errors of her husband's administration.

It is hard for the American people to turn completely against the president. It seems tantamount to patricide. We're much more comfortable being able to blame someone else for the president's mistakes. Laura Bush will never be the scapegoat. For now, it's Rumsfeld.

Listen, Little Miss Marduk, the American people have, in fact, turned completely against the Bush junta. You may have married Daddy, but the rest of us aren't looking for a big pappa to make our delicate bits wet, just a competent, caring human to work for us. That's likely why you weren't able to get the rest of us to join you in a smelling-salt and Grey Goose cocktail when Bill Clinton got a blow job. And it figures you'd write paeans to Laura I-Killed-My-Boyfriend-Now-Let's-Have-A-Cig Bush. You're collaborators of a feather, aren't you?

Now shut the fuck up and take Rummy with you. You're not shrewd, you're not scapegoats, you're just plain, old disgusting goat fuckers. And Ben Bradlee can take that lack of a final comma any way that he likes.
